Chapter 677
Sun Kewang saw Niu Jinxing walking away, so he went back to his study and told Xu Yixian, "Call all the generals and notify the ministries, and discard all those who cannot be taken away. The army will immediately go south. Before Gao Yihuan can react, break through the Ming army's obstruction. Enter Yungui. The terrain of Yungui is complicated and the roads are difficult. As long as the army enters the mountains and forests of Yunnan and Guizhou, the Wei army will not be able to catch up."

There was interception in the front and pursuit in the back, and the road to Yunnan-Guizhou was rugged and sparsely populated. If the Western Army wanted to get rid of the pursuit, it had to be fast and discard a large number of things that could not be taken away, including the tens of millions of taels of silver left by Zhang Xianzhong.

Xu Yixian bowed immediately, "I'll do it now!"

After finishing speaking, Xu Yixian turned around and left. Not long after, all the generals of the Western Army came to the Pingdong Palace to discuss the evacuation.

After Sun Kewang stayed with Ainengqi, he displayed more banners to confuse the Wei army, and ordered Liu Zongmin to abandon Chongqing and move to Guizhou, and agreed to join Zunyi in the Xuanweisi territory of Bozhou.

Sun Kewang knew very well that Gao Yihuan would not allow such a team as the Western Army to continue to exist, unless the established facts were created and he fled outside the sphere of influence of the Wei Army, so that Gao Yihuan had nothing to do with him, Gao Yihuan would be forced to accept the reality.

At dusk that day, Sun Kewang, surrounded by a group of generals, came out from the south gate of Luzhou, stationed his horses outside the city, looked back at the city for a while, and then heaved a long sigh. Enter Guizhou and get rid of Wei Jun's pursuit.

On the other side, Niu Jinxing crossed the Yangtze River and rushed to Chengdu. When he arrived in Neijiang, he met the forward of the Wei army. After walking for another day, he met Gao Yihuan who was leading the army southward in Ziyang County.

After the Guanning Army was dealt with, only Sun Kewang's Western Army could threaten the Wei Army. It was impossible for Gao Yihuan to tolerate Sun Kewang's occupation of southern Sichuan.

He sent Niu Jinxing to see Sun Kewang, but he didn't put all his hopes on Niu Jinxing, but made many preparations.

If Sun Kewang accepts his terms and is willing to surrender, then everyone will be happy.

If Sun Kewang disagrees, then Gao Yihuan will go to war directly, and with the momentum of a big victory over the Guanning Army, Sun Kewang will be wiped out with lightning speed. If he is not given time to prepare for defense or escape, he must be captured by the Western Army. huge amount of money.

It was night, in the government office of Ziyang County, Gao Yihuan spent the night here. Not long after he lay down, he heard Li Laiheng's voice calling softly outside the house: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty~"

Gao Yihuan just lay down, heard the voice, frowned slightly, "What's the matter?"

"My lord, Niu Jinxing is back!" Li Laiheng said with contempt for the name Niu Jinxing in his tone.

It's no wonder that many generals of the Shun line blamed Niu Jinxing, a treacherous official, for the defeat of Dashun, and they naturally disliked Niu Jinxing.

Gao Yihuan propped himself up, sat up from the bed, and put on his robe again, "Let him go to Jietang to wait."

Not long after, Gao Yihuan was fully dressed, and when he came to the festival hall, he saw Niu Jinxing already sitting in the hall.

At this moment, seeing Gao Yihuan coming in, he hurriedly saluted and said, "Your Majesty, when I saw Sun Kewang, I dared to come back and return my order."

Gao Yihuan went straight to the seat and sat down, raised his hand to press down, motioning for him to sit down, then took a sip of the strong tea brought by the guard to refresh himself, and then asked, "What did Sun Kewang say, did you accept the conditions of the lonely king?"

Niu Jinxing hurriedly stood up again, "Reporting to the king, Sun Kewang does not accept the conditions of the king, but he proposed another plan!"

Gao Yihuan was a little annoyed and said, "How dare he raise conditions with the lonely king?" But then his tone softened, "What plan did he propose?"

Niu Jinxing said: "Your Majesty, Sun Kewang proposed to be a minister of the Great Wei, and follow Mu Guogong's example to guard the southwest for the King."

Gao Yihuan frowned, "Please be a vassal?"

Niu Jinxing nodded and said: "Sun Kewang offered money to bribe the minister in order to let the minister present his plan to the king, and the minister accepted it in order to make him feel at ease."

As he spoke, he opened a wooden box, which was full of gold leaves, shining golden light under the candlelight.

Gao Yihuan narrowed his eyes when he saw these gold leaves, looked at them for a while, pondered for a while, and then praised: "Mr. , the lonely king cannot accept it."

Gao Yihuan was really tempted to ask the Western Army to become a vassal, but after thinking about it carefully, he found that this would not work at all. He could not allow a powerful armed force to separate the southwestern border. Even if he agreed, he would cut down the vassal in the future.

Now that the Western Army had just failed in the battle for Sichuan, facing the attack of his two forces, it was time to solve the Western Army once and for all, how could he be allowed to continue to separate the regime.

If he agreed to Sun Kewang's conditions, it would be tantamount to giving Sun Kewang a chance to breathe, and it would take a lot of effort to deal with him in the future.

Back then, it took several years for Zhu Yuanzhang's 30 troops to defeat the Liang King of the Yuan Dynasty and take down Yunnan, Guizhou and Yunnan.

Gao Yihuan didn't want to spend so much effort in the future, and if he agreed to Sun Kewang, how could he take the money left by Zhang Xianzhong.

Gao Yihuan murmured: "Mr. Niu, take a rest tonight and set off tomorrow morning to meet Sun Kewang. You can make him a marquis. If he agrees, he will open the city and surrender. If he doesn't agree, then we will fight each other."

After hearing this, Niu Jinxing nodded hurriedly, "The minister is resigning!"

"Wait a minute!" Gao Yihuan called to stop Niu Jinxing, and said with a smile, "Mr. Niu took ten gold leaves for himself, which is a reward from the lonely king!"

Niu Jinxing was overjoyed, not because of the ten gold leaves, but because of Gao Yihuan's attitude, he stepped forward excitedly, "The minister thanked the king."

There are many kinds of courtiers, there are loyal ministers who are strong and strong, and dare to die, there are also jesters who please the king, everything is set by the king, flattering and sycophantic, and treacherous ministers who use power for personal gain, kill loyal and good people, and are not loyal to the monarch. Ordinary courtiers who eat.

Niu Jinxing understood that it was impossible for him to be a loyal minister in this life, and it was impossible for him to be a clean and honest official, so he didn't refuse, and took ten gold leaves after thanking him.

Early the next morning, after Niu Jinxing cleaned up, he went south again, and within a day, he arrived at the Wei Jun camp on the other side of Luzhou.

He was just about to take a boat to the south bank. When he came to the bank, he bumped into a group of Wei soldiers rowing back to the north bank.

As soon as the soldiers on the ship got off the ship, they ran towards the camp and shouted anxiously, "It's not good, the Western Army has slipped away!"

When Niu Jinxing heard the voice, his face turned pale instantly, and he hurriedly stopped someone, "What are you talking about? Sun Kewang slipped away?"

"It is indeed slipping away, Luzhou is already an empty city!" The soldier who was stopped replied panting.

Niu Jinxing's face turned even paler, knowing that he had been hit by Sun Kewang's plan to slow down the army, he didn't know whether Gao Yihuan would take his anger on him, he was terrified, he let go of the soldier's hand, and his mind went blank.

After a while, he suddenly remembered the boat he saw that morning, but his expression suddenly lifted, he turned around and walked back~
